LOINC Code


LOINC code73965-6
nameBody muscle mass/Body weight Measured
descriptionBody muscle percentage is measured by a variety of methods, including bio-impedance analysis (BIA) (e.g. Tanita MC-180 MA). Body muscle percentage is equal to a patient's body muscle mass divided by total body weight. This code represents muscle mass only. Other instruments or methods may be used to measure lean body weight (e.g. see LOINCs 8342-8 and 8343-6), which includes muscle, bone (skeletal) and organs - everything but body fat (e.g. LOINC 41982-0).

propertyMFr  =  Mass Fraction
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
system^Patient
scaleQn  =  Quantitative:  The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256
